Why is it taking so long for me to finish school? Just the other day I was so ready to just quit school! I was getting so discourage about how my life is going right now. I was really feeling very unhappy about my job, which I love to do. But right now I feel that I’m ready to move on to something that pay’s me more and is a little more challenging for me. I was talking to a really good friend of mine, and I was telling her how I was feeling about school and work. I was telling her how she is younger then I and she is already working on getting her Master’s Degree, as for me I’m still in a community college and barely taking my transfer course’s and I still have awhile to be here before I can transfer to San Francisco State. You see I’ve worked ever since I was fourteen years old. So I have always been so independent, even though I have my parents to help me. I’ve always been the kind of person that like’s to have my own money, so I could get what ever I’ve wanted to have with out feeling like I was taking advantage of my parents. So ever since I started going to college I’ve work and went to school part-time. Also when I graduated high school I went to City College of San Francisco right after. Which I now regret doing because City college felt like I was back in high school. So there where day’s that I wouldn’t go to class and just chill with my friends. So finally when I decide get my act together, I also decide to go to another school where I would know any body. So that’s how I got to CSM! When I started I went straight for the Human Service’s Program. So the first few semesters I only took the class I need to have so I could complete the requirements need for my certificate. Another thing I‘ve never been a school person, so that should tell you how I feel about school! I know that by me continuing going to school at the end it’s all going to pay off.
My boyfriend is always was encouraging me to keep going. He and friends gives me somewhat of a reality check. I feel very fortunate to have people like my boyfriend, family and friends in my life, to give me that extra boost that I need.
